National

Some moms like to impress me with how
smart their kids are when they come to the clinic...

“Anak, what’s the national tree?,” mom
starts asking,

And before you know it, I’m the one
quizzing up the child...”Wow, ang galing! Eh, do you know what the national
flower is? How about the national fruit? And so on”. They answer successive
questions without faltering ha. Smart naman talaga...

So, today, here is a another nanay, “Anak
, Tell doctora who the national hero is...” said the mother.

I smiled and encouraged her
enthusiastically, “Yes iha, tell me who the national hero is” I added, (I was
thinking of asking what the national bird is next )...

She said “ Doctora Enriquez!” without
hesitation...

“What?!!” I started laughing...”why is
that?”

Apparently, when they say that Dr Jose
Rizal is the National Hero...She doesn’t believe them...because as far as she
can tell ...I’m the only doctor she
knows...LOL.

(Or baka naman, I smell like the National
flower , or the National ulam ?!)
